Important!
To ensure the good quality of recipient blocks, make sure that the top surfaces of both,
recipient and donor blocks are parallel to the plastic bottom of the cassettes, and there
are no dents or cavities in the paraffin layer.
If any defect is visible, cut the top layer of the block to make it even, otherwise
embedded cores may be damaged after creation (for example, the top section of the
core is sticks out of the paraffin block, that can be easily broken down).

Important!
Before inserting a PCR cassette into its slot, ensure that the cover plate and tubes are
uncontaminated. One PCR cassette can be inserted into its slot before the first position
on each donor tray. The correct orientation of the cassette and its cover plate is shown
